Idaho is rich in geothermal energy, a clean and reliable source with great long-term potential. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that the energy content of America’s geothermal resource is equivalent to a staggering 30,000-year supply.

Of course all the natural heat under Earth’s surface can’t be reached, but DOE says geothermal has the potential to power to up to 100 million American homes.

One of the best things about my job is helping Idahoans solve problems by turning their good ideas into law. The first week in November, the House passed a bill to enact a really good idea brought to me by a pair of third-generation Idaho loggers.

The 2018 Primary Election may seem like it’s a long way off, but Brad Little has already announced his intention to be the establishment’s choice for Idaho Governor. Who will the conservatives choose to take him on, former State Senator Russ Fulcher who challenged incumbent Governor Butch Otter in 2014 or Idaho’s 1st District Congressman Raúl Labrador? The stakes have never been higher with the future of Idaho hanging in the balance.
